Why Do You Ask? Poem by Lazarus Knix

Why Do You Ask?

Rating: 5.0


Why are you silent?
Because I've spoken already
Why are you silent?
Because when I speak, I say nothing
Why do you listen?
Because I am inquisitive
Why do you listen?
Because I am foolish
Why do you weep?
Because tears are liberating
Why do you weep?
Because I wish to be liberated from tears
Why are you lonely?
Because no one understands
Why are you lonely?
Because I understand no one.
Why do you dream?
Because I desire
Why do you dream?
Because I am lonely-
Why do you ask?

It's an interesting and clever set-up with some good lines.
